White patches
Posted , 11 users are following.
i was diagnosed with LS about three years ago. God it is a hateful disease. I use Dermovate to keep the LS under control, my urethra is very tiny and there is a possibility it will have to be sorted in the future. I have been using the Dermivate in this area and also over my clitoris which was slowly disappearing, my clitoris appears to have come back! But I have noticed my skin above my clitoris is white and also on my labia, but only on the outer parts, difficult to describe really but the centre of my 'girlie bits' is a healthy pink/red but round the edge is white. I thought initially that the Dermivate had caused the whiteness but I am wondering now if this is the LS and I should use the Dermovate on this area specifically? Probably a bit of a silly question but has anyone else experienced this? I may well go to doctors anyway to get this checked out. Thank you all, your support is invaluable and soooo appreciated. X

Use the cream on the white patches, it should help.

I don't do the other things some people do as the Advantan fatty ointment I use controls it.
The only other thing I put near it is Dermeze sensitive when I feel it need moisturising.
I was also advised against wetting the area too much.

I thought about stopping to use the demol since the white patches are gone. Along with half the clitoris...but if it'll bring it back Ill start using it again. Who knows ?

first timer here.... Could not agree with you more about it being a hateful disease but can I say a huge thank you to you and all the other generous contributors on LS forum. The knowledge I have gained about LS is one thing. ( like only applying Dermavate to white or itchy areas, I was applying all over vulver to anus even when no longer white. To rub in for 90 seconds was not told that either by gynae ) The relief of knowing I am not going through this alone is even more valuable. Thank you all for being so open.
I was diagnosed about 2 years ago with LS after being treated for thrush for about 18 months. I reckon if a friend of mine had not told me of her exact symptoms and diagnosis I would probably still be going down that road or would have chucked myself under a passing wildebeest !
I too have a dissapearing clitoris and a 'covered' urethra. Hence I DO pee sideways , well ALLways really, think small sprinkler ! for anyone else who has this I find leaning forward on the loo helps to direct flow downwards, so is less messy. (while I'm on the subject of paper, some brands of THAT irritate my nethers too dont know if they do others?)
Anyway back to my urethra, the gynacologist said that with the skin fusion, it was like having a hose pipe and putting a curtain in front of it and that if it becomes difficult to let him know. ! I think the only option then is surgery.
re deramatologist vs a gynaecologist - said friend was referred to a dermatologist by her gynaecologist. I will ask gynae about it next time i see him.
Best wishes
